Avoid ISPM-15 Issues

3 Ways to Avoid ISPM-15 Issues

Make sure your supplier understands the complexities of treating solid wood packaging.

3 Ways to Avoid ISPM-15 Issues
The heating process must achieve a minimum wood core temperature of 56° Celsius (greater than 130°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes.

If your wooden pallets do not comply with ISPM-15 regulations for overseas shipments, you could be facing a nightmare. Don’t despair. We have created a list of 3 ways to avoid ISPM-15 export issues.

3-Point List to Prevent International Shipping Issues

  1. Consider Alternative Materials
    Easiest way is to use non-wood pallets such as plastic pallets or corrugated pallets. These are exempt from ISPM-15 requirements and do not require any markings or treatments.

  2. Double-Check the Details
    For solid wood pallets, make sure you follow ISPM-15 guidelines. Most issues result from the small details. These could include not having ISPM-15 stencils on BOTH sides of the pallet or crate. Or the stencils might be illegible. It is a good idea to check your packaging as it is loaded into the container as a final quality check to make sure things are in compliance.

  3. Work with a Knowledgeable Supplier
    Your best bet to make sure your packaging complies is to choose a reputable wood pallet supplier that stays current with the latest ISPM-15 regulations. Make sure the supplier knows exactly which countries you are shipping to. Some countries have additional bark or paperwork requirements. Companies like Nelson pride themselves in understanding the issues and complexities of the ISPM-15 program.

Export Wooden Pallets with Confidence

Using the list above can help get you started with navigating the ISPM-15 program and prevent shipping issues. But, if you still have ISPM-15 questions or you want more information about how to avoid issues when exporting wood packaging, let’s connect.
